Bisq 2 support multiple trade protocols, privacy networks and identities. \ stacker news ~bitcoin

For the initial release Bisq 2 will come with the Bisq Easy protocol only. Work on the other protocols will start after Bisq 2 has been shipped.

Bisq Easy is designed for novice Bitcoin users with a focus on ease to use and convenience. It does not require that the user has already Bitcoin and it is based on an easy-to-use chat interface. Security is based on reputation of the Bitcoin seller. It does not compete with the current Bisq v1 trade protocol but is complementary to it. It serves and targets a user group which we cannot reach with Bisq v1. You can read more about Bisq Easy in the Bisq wiki.

I still think using Java FX hurts the effort more than I helps... I know JS sucks, but you would potentially get more contributors that way.
